“'I firmly believe that in the next two decades, India will grow to be among the top three economies in the world. But more importantly, it will become a premier digital society,” said RIL chairman Mukesh Ambani. 

Addressing Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Chairman & Managing Director, Reliance Industries Limited Mukesh Ambani affirmed that India is on its way to the top, during the Facebook Fuel for India 2020 event. 

"Our percapita income will go from eighteen hundred - two thousand dollars per capita, to five thousand dollars per capita. Our mid-income or the middle class in India which is about 50% of its total number of households, will grow to three to four percent per year, he said.

He forecasts that India’s per capita income will increase from $1,800-2,000 per capita to $5,000 per capita. He also envisioned that the middle class would grow by 3-4% per year. 

Ambani praised the partnership between Jio and Facebook, which has been a “value creation” platform. "I firmly believe that technology, with all the digitisation steps that India has taken, will democratise wealth and value creation for individuals and small businesses," he said.

Ambani continued, "To my mind, more wealth creation means more employment and more business. And together with our platforms and the tools that we will provide to small businesses and to individual consumers, I believe will drive India to a 5 trillion economy and will make a much more equal India, with more equal wealth growth at the bottom of the pyramid.”
